P.G. Wodehouse

A Blandings novel

The Empress of Blandings, prize-winning pig and all-consuming passion of Clarence, Ninth Earl of Emsworth, has disappeared.

Blandings Castle is in uproar and there are suspects a-plenty –
from Galahad Threepwood (who is writing memoirs so scandalous they will rock the aristocracy to its foundations) to
the Efficient Baxter, chilling former secretary to Lord
Emsworth. Even Beach the Butler seems deeply embroiled. And
what of Sir Gregory Parsloe-Parsloe, Clarence's arch-rival, and
his passion for prize-winning pigs?

With the castle full of deceptions and impostors, will Galahad's
memoirs ever see the light of day? And will the Empress be
returned...?

A Blandings novel

This is the first Blandings novel, in which P.G. Wodehouse
introduces us to the delightfully dotty Lord Emsworth, his
bone-headed younger son, the Hon. Freddie Threepwood, his
long-suffering secretary, the Efficient Baxter, and Beach the
Blandings butler.

As Wodehouse wrote, 'without at least one impostor on the
premises, Blandings Castle is never itself.' In
Something Fresh
there are two, each with an eye on a valuable scarab which
Lord Emsworth has acquired without quite realizing how it
came into his pocket. But of course things get a lot more
complicated than this . . .

A Jeeves and Wooster novel

Gussie Fink-Nottle's knowledge of the common newt is
unparalleled. Drop him in a pond of newts and his behaviour
will be exemplary, but introduce him to a girl and watch him
turn pink, yammer, and suddenly stampede for the great open
spaces. Even with Madeline Bassett, who feels that the stars are
God's daisy chain, his tongue is tied in reef-knots. And his
chum Tuppy Glossop isn't getting on much better with
Madeline's delectable friend Angela.

With so many broken hearts lying about him, Bertie Wooster
can't sit idly by. The happiness of a pal – two pals, in fact – is at
stake. But somehow Bertie's best-laid plans land everyone in the
soup, and so it's just as well that Jeeves is ever at hand to apply
his bulging brains to the problems of young love.

It takes a lot of effort for Jimmy Crocker to become Piccadilly
Jim – nights on the town roistering, headlines in the gossip
columns, a string of broken hearts and breaches of promise.
Eventually he becomes rather good at it and manages to go to
pieces with his eyes open.

But no sooner has Jimmy cut a wild swathe through fashionable
London than his terrifying Aunt Nesta decides he must mend
his ways. He then falls in love with the girl he has hurt most of
all, and after that things get complicated.

In a dizzying plot, impersonations pile on impersonations so
that (for reasons that will become clear, we promise) Jimmy
ends up having to pretend he's himself. Does he deserve a
happy ending? Read and find out.

A Blandings novel

Lady Constance Keeble, sister of Lord Emsworth of Blandings
Castle, has both an imperious manner and a valuable diamond
necklace. This becomes the cause of dark plottings, for within
the castle lurk some well-connected jewel thieves – among them
the Honourable Freddie Threepwood, Lord Emsworth's
younger son, who wants the reward money to set up a
bookmaking business, and Psmith, the elegant socialist, who's
after it for his newly married chum Mike. On patrol with the
impossible task of bringing management to Blandings is the
Efficient Baxter, whose strivings for order lead to a memorable
encounter with the castle flowerpots.

Blandings and Psmith together – the best combination of
Wodehouse joy!

A Jeeves and Wooster novel

Trapped in rural Steeple Bumpleigh, a man less stalwart than Bertie Wooster would probably give way at the knees.

For among those present were Florence Craye, to whom Bertie
had once been engaged and her new fiancé 'Stilton'
Cheesewright, who sees Bertie as a snake in the grass. And that
biggest blot on the landscape, Edwin the Boy Scout, who is busy
doing acts of kindness out of sheer malevolence.

All Bertie's forebodings are fully justified. For in his efforts to
oil the wheels of commerce, promote the course of true love
and avoid the consequences of a vendetta, he becomes the prey
of all and sundry. In fact only Jeeves can save him...
